Harry runs in around the 8 minute mark scene and then says a couple of things and then...vanishes it would have been interesting for him to meet The Curator

Harry runs in around the 8 minute mark scene and then says a couple of things and then...vanishes it would have been interesting for him to meet The Curator Yeah, it is really strange that, isn't it? I finished the story and it stuck out like a sore toe "Where did Harry go?"
I wonder if they had to cut the script because they were running overtime and took out a scene or two, or if it was planned that way (which would be a really weird decision).
I can only guess that maybe in future sets, we might get that meeting of Harry and the Curator and maybe something bigger is planned?
In any case, I liked the first box set so much I took the plunge and pre-ordered the rest of them. The employees of my company got Christmas money again this year (is this a thing in the UK, too?), and I better spend it on something nice to look forward to before more bills and more bad news and disasters knock on my door.

I also think at moment it is very very hard to distinguish between Josh and Chris Naylor when they are following on in scenes.Harry is there one minute next scene is Josh but for a minute i thought it was Harry

Does the Curator actually add anything to this story or is it just more Stranded-style vague portentousness? He has much more of a bigger role in the UNIT Story and is better used here than in Stranded He even has a sword fight with The 11 And with that, this story jumps from the “whenever I get around to it” pile to the “as soon as Thunderbirds is finished” pile.

Well, part one down and I rather like how Mark Bonnar is playing Eleven this time around, he really seems like a much younger version of Eleven, almost as if he’s only recently regenerated. It’s a testament to him that he can play him both recognisably Eleven-y but also with enough of a twist to imply something is different about him.

Also, do we normally hear so much from Three? It’s usually One having a snipe or Six wanting some carnage with a smattering of Nine wanting theft or Five being smug.

As long as they find something else to say than Mark saying “Oh Shut Up......” somehow he seems totally different in dark Universe don’t ask me why

Okay…. As nice as it is for a mystery to play out over the course of a few years - this Harry business is going to annoy me until the fourth Doctor adventures resolves it.

This is my first proper Curator story and I like thr character, Tom invests him with a level of maturity that he intentionally keeps out of his Doctor performance, there’s a calmness to the Curator that the Doctor lacks but still there’s that unquantifiable Tomness to him, the way he gushes over Turner or enthuses over the timing mechanism on the bomb. A sense of “I’ve seen the best and rhe worst of the cosmos, now I just want to sit and admire pretty things like paintings” but with a steel underneath, he didn’t even pause when the two minions died. He described the Undercroft as under his protection, and the way ati said it you know it’s Protected eith a capital P.
Also the sword fight was lovely, you really get a sense of the power of the Curator that he’s just toying with the Eleven to bide their time. Like those old masters in Japanese films, who hand the protagonist their arses with ease.

Do you think I can listen to this story and understand it having only heard the first 4 UNIT volumes? (plus stuff with The Curator and the Eleven)

Only three votes? Admittedly very consistent opinions from them… It’s that time where (if you’re me), you think to yourself…. Hmmm Stranded, UNIT, War Doctor Begins, Peladon, Charlotte Pollard….. and then you regret not buying at least one every month… what was I thinking?!?
